While I was still in Rhodes I wanted to try cosmetics made of ”Greek treasures”! The products instantly sounded promising as they contained olive oil and aloe vera. Within the island the selection of organic cosmetics is extremely good so a jar or 2 had to leave with me back home. Nevertheless here a few of the champions of the tested products.

Effectively nourishing hair mask is the perfect fit for a beach holiday! The hair mask detangles the hair sensitively after a dip in the salty sea water leaving your locks airy and light. This product will remain in my personal cosmetic collection to repair my bleached britle hair during the brisk winter season as well. Use once a week on towel dried hair and let it sit for 10-15 minutes

The fresh scented rich and full bodied body lotion leaves the skin pleasantly soft.The wide selection of this product range caused difficuties of choosing the right one due it’s different scents and organic attributes such as coconut, papaya, rose, kiwi fruit and so on

Effectively cleanising face water that feels refreshing on your skin. This product is recommended to all skin types but personally I find this lotion to be the most suitable for normal and impure skin types due to it’s strongly cleansing and calming elements.

On a pink day of photo shoot like this, you can only but to admit to yourself, damn I love my job!!! We were shooting Minna PArikka’s spring/summer collection and also for the Image magazines 30 years anniversary issues cover competition, that Minna actually won!!

A regular exfoliating regime helps you keep the skin it’s elasticity and smoothness. Exfoliating aids blood circulation and helps the fight against cellulite. This body scrub removes dead skin cells which then help for other skin care products to absorbe better and not to forget the glow it gives instantly.

I myself get sun burned very easily so I tend to use extremly high factor sunscreens- This particular sunscreen passed the test on my latest trip to Greece and I got away without any redness on my skin this time around. 100 % natural product that contains patented alga – gorria combination, sunflower – and coconut oil. Doesn’t not contain nanoparticles ( nanoparticles interfere with makrofagi cells that are part of body’s immune system. )

During the summer season you won’t necessarily need to use a foundation at all, but a small toning won’t hurt you. This tinted suncreen lotion which contains colour pigments will perfect your skin and is pleasant to use due it’s light formula consistency.

Always remember to protect your lips as well!!! Exposure to the sun causes fine lines and one of the most prominent signs of ageing skin are the vertical lines on the lips so always remember the protection of the lips.

Absolutely the best self tanning product I have ever tried with the best colour tone. For the best end result do as follows :

exfoliate the skin, but do not use moisturiser ( in case extremely dry part of the skin such as feet, knees and elbows moisturiser can be applied. )

Apply the self tanning foam with circular motion with Tan Mitt – applying glove ( for better end result without staining the palms of your hands. )

Wear loose dark coloured clothing

Let it sit for 8- 24 hours and then rinse with water. Note. Do not use shower gel. Dry the skin and repeat the same regime again. For even long lasting result apply for the third time again after 8-24 hours.

I personally applied the product also on the face and the back of my palms of my hands ( remimber to wipe the product off from the eye brows )

This product is your skin’s own photoshop. It fades skin’s tiny imperfections and blemishes and works extremely well on photographs due it’s reflective attributes. This product can be use in both face and body but my recommendation is to use this product first and foremost to those summer legs.

Organic Pur Aloé Aloe Vera has been produced of cold-pressed organically farmed aloe vera leaves. This process helps to maintain the natural healing properties of product. This product is perfect for after-sun, mosquito bites, rash and moisturising the skin.

I travel a lot due to my work and on my spare time. Milan has become a very familiar city to me, due to the Fashion Week. It’s come to a tradition that we do our make up shopping with my friend and colleague Miika Kemppainen! When in Milan, we purchase all the familiar and essential products and of course tryout some new ones.

This is something that you have been wishing for some time now, so I introduce you some of my favorite products from Milan! Stay tuned, on the next post of Must Have products: Essentials from Paris!

Very soft and highly pigmented consistency. Can be used as an inner eyeliner or for smokey eyes, used under make up to create intensity. Used as an eyeliner, setting in the product might be needed, due to the soft consistency.

This product’s been mentioned before on my blog. I just can’t get over the fact how excellent this product really is! A Creamy highlighter, that brings the perfect glow on your face. Use to highlight: Cheekbones, bridge of the nose, brow bone and cupid’s bow. Two Shades: Gold, for a tanned or darker skin tones, and a shade for light to medium skin tones.

Scrub and Peel wipes are effective and fast, with two sides. With the micro-relief side, you get to exfoliate all the small areas such as lips and sides of the nose. Finish with the smooth part that soothes and moistures the skin.
